Watermelon And Cucumber Salad

A great summer salad that is sweet and tart with a touch of heat. i prefer this chilled as i like the coolness to go with the spicy, but it can be served at room temperature. i got this from a cookbook that i have since lost, but it is a very easy recipe to remember. time includes all prep, cooking and standing time, but not chill time.

Steps

Combine vinegar , sugar and red pepper in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice cucumbers and toss with salt to taste in a large bowl.
Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Press the cucumbers with paper towels to remove any excess liquid.
Toss the watermelon and the 1 / 2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl.
Add cucumbers and vinegar mixture and toss gently to combine.
Chill or serve at room temperature.
